With the holiday season fast approaching it may be time to try some new advertising tactics to attract more business.
There is an old saying; if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it; this isn’t always the best case scenario for business advertising. Sometimes, improving and changing your strategy can pay off big time to attract new business. Taking bigger risks can have bigger pay offs for business, many business owners are hesitant to change their advertising because it works “okay”, but changing your advertising could work “great!” if you have a plan and help to accomplish it.
Many business owners think they can’t afford to make a television commercial, and definitely cannot afford airtime to play the commercial on their local TV channels. So these business owners stick with direct mail, or even radio advertising, not knowing with their budget they can most likely afford to shoot a commercial and get it on TV within a couple weeks…So how do you get your business on tv?
